                    [Summary] => Loving technology is like being married to a member of the mob. It is exciting and I benefit from it but at the same time, I also feel robbed of something quite essential. Gaby Wood, who wrote "Edison’s Eve," a book on the history of automation, used the French word "escamoteur" to describe this sinister side of automation as it affects time that we, in our humanity, come to value. "Escamoteurs" means "thieves of time." I will extend this meaning to some common technologies we have now.

In a parallel quest for human extension or duplication in terms of automation, I turn to Gaby Wood’s account in her book Edison’s Eve (2002). She traces it back to the Salon des Quatre Saisons in Hotel de Longueville in Paris in the 11th of February 1738. It is curiously French like Raël. Jacques de Vaucanson, a pioneer in "automatons," put "The Flute Player" on exhibit.
